I don't think you realize that when an artist sells the CD themselves they don't even come close to making 70% of the sale and don't even get me started about what the record company gives you. That being said within the next month we are upping the percentage to 80% for the artist.
When I say the service is free I mean there are no upfront costs that the artists have to pay. They can upload an unlimited number of songs and sell them. There is no technical cost to the artist. This leaves them with more time to promote and do what they do best make great music.
Lastly, our 30% is used to cover the cost of every sales transaction (which isn't cheap when someone only buys 1 song), the storage of the media on our servers, and the promotion and development of the site itself. I am not saying that their isn't something in it for me, but we give way more than we take.
